Thanks to everyone. I decided that I needed to figure out the problem based on all the advice. Turns out it was a set of 3 issues. Replacing the thermister really helped on the fuel solenoid. Now I get a strong click everytime I turn the key. Before, I often did not hear a click. Second...

Well I replaced the thermister, not the easiest job but I got it done. Turned the key, heard sharp sound and now the tractor is completely dead. It blew the 30 fuse on the starter circuit. I put in a new fuse and nothing when I turn the key. Some days it is better not to fix things! Open to...

Thanks, I will recheck the fuel filter. I wondered about the selenoid. I had not thought about the fuel pump but will look into it.

Looking for some help. I have a 2000 JD 4500 with 800 hours. When I try to start it, it turns over well but does not start. After trying several times, I let the tractor sit for a little while and it usually starts. I have checked the ground wire connection on the block and it seems fine...

I bought a Cub Cadet ZTR1 50 a couple of weeks ago. It lasted for about 90 minutes. The transmisson belt came off and to fix it, the mower has to go to a service center. Needless to say I returned the mower for a refund.

That's the puzzle. I try to start the tractor and no luck. I take the wire nut off and put it back on and it does start. The wires are twisted tightly together. Maybe there is a fault further down the wire and just moving them works. Once the tractor is warm it starts fine.

I have a JD 4500 with a starting issue. When cold, the tractor will turn over but not start. Several years ago I got frustrated with the seat pressure switch and took it out. I put the red and white and red wires from the switch together. All was well. Lately the starting problem began...

Thanks for the ideas, I appreciate it. I will try the 4wd idea, and then try switching the front tires.

I have a JD 4500 with farm tires Rt1. The front tires are tearing up my meadow when I turn. Can I mix turf tires on front and leave the farm tires on the rear? I do need traction on some hilly areas so I do not want to go to all turf tires. Tractor is 4wd. Thanks

I had a similar issue. I tried starting my tractor many times and gave up. The next day I planned to bleed the injectors, but decided to try cranking it a few more times. Each time I started it it would run a little longer. Finally it ran and after a couple of minutes of rough idle it...

Thanks I will give that a try. I appreciate the help. My petcock only has on and off and even when off, diesel drips from the tank.

Unfortunately the manual just says that the tractor is self bleeding and leaves it at that.

I need some advice. I just changed the fuel filter on my JD 4500 tractor built in 1999 The manual says the tractor is self bleeding but now everytime I try to start the tractor it will start, run for 15 seconds and dies. Usually it increases rpm's just before dying. Do I need to bleed the...
